Cassandra was completely speechless.

Is Rebecca taking advantage of the time Orlando isn’t around to provoke me?‘ she sneered in her thoughts.

Rebecca immediately walked toward Orlando and muttered in a low voice, “I’m fine. What Cassandra said is right, and there’s nothing wrong with her driving me away. I should probably move out, Landy, since you two are still legally married, and I’m just an outsider.”
